I’m a leader, so I know mens brands better. But can still share comments on womens shoes from my friends.
Explaining my profile…I’m an athletic leader with extremely wide (and thick) feet. I move around a lot, have strong ankles, and do a lot of physical movements. I dance often (3-5 days/week & couple hours every milonga), and usually prefer leather sole over chrome for longer sole-durability. Also, I feel hard leather soles have more arch support (for my flat feet) whereas chrome soles tend to be softer and give my feet fatigue quicker in the night.
